| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a detailed relief view of the ancient synagogue ruins of Capernaum, showing three standing Corinthian columns supporting an architrave against an open sky, characteristic of the 4th–5th century CE white limestone basilica. In the lower left foreground, elaborately carved architectural friezes are shown in detail, featuring rosettes, geometric patterns, and a Star of David motif within a circular medallion. To the lower right, stylized waves suggest the nearby shores of the Sea of Galilee, with stone steps descending toward the water. Along the upper arc, the site name appears in Latin as 'CAPERNAUM' and in Hebrew as 'כפר-נחום'. |
